China Yangshuo Radio Mountain

Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot

Taking the Stairs up to the Radiostation allows for a great view of the surrounding karst landscape in yangshuo. You have to pay the owners/wardens of the place a 10 yuan fee to enter. Opening times are not specified. You should check if you can enter early before attempting a sunrise shoot. Staying there after sunset has not been a problem yet (2016).

Photography Tips

Medium Telephoto and Normal lenses are prefered. In winter there will most likely be a lot of dust/smog in the air, so ultra long shots will have no contrast whatsoever.
Normal focal lengths can be used to capture both karst landscape and the city and villages below.
Panoramics with a longer focal length also work very well.
